Hi Sherry, I'm back from my hols and my lovely housemate kept a log of what they ate this last week.
Es has been on kibble with some soup throughout the week as my housemate didn't have time to spoonfeed her. I'll get back on that this week.
George had... Mon- gizzards, kidney and some soup Tues- chicken and pork Weds- chicken, heart and pork Thurs- chicken and pork Fri- gizzards, kidney and liver Saturday- chicken
Es poos are bign and browny and George's are smaller and dark. Sometimes they are quite runny.
Energy levels for the pair of them are great, they are all over the place and in everything as usual!
Now I'm back I'm going to really try and get them both to move on from the stages they are at. Es ate a small amount of pork this morning from my hand and I just caught her eating a bit from George's bowl (woo) and George will chew on a pinky for a bit!
Weight... Es- 0.8Kg George- 1.3Kg

Glad to see you back!!! Okay- let's ramp this up. Start adding more and more slivers to es' meals. Keep pushing her further every coupl of days. George let's get him eating different proteins as well as more bone. Grab him some beef or turkey and see how he does

Got some beef. Going to chop it up and start George on it this week. He's eating ok, and Es will lap at the soup until we leave her with it, then she'll just leave it. She's also stashing George's food when it suits her the cheeky thing!

Yeah I feel like we're stuck somewhere between kibble and soup with her at the minute. Will keep trying though! Yeah will do, got some so will try him later this week. He's down for chicken wings tomorrow now Ive managed to get some more I can get him back on the bone.

Es has been having mostly kibble with spoon fed soup in the morning and night. Not very much consumed.
George had... Mon- pork and heart Tues- heart and liver Weds- chicken wings Thurs- chicken wings Fri- beef Saturday- beef Sunday- beef and chicken wings
Es poos are big and browny and George's are smaller and dark. Sometimes they are quite runny.
Energy levels for the pair of them are great, they are all over the place and in everything as usual!
Really pleased George is now eating beef, will try get Es more on the soups this week. Hopefully the new fuzzies should be with us by next weekend, but will let you know when they need to be added on (So excited I might burst!) Weight... Es- 0.8Kg George- 1.3Kg

Okay. We need to do some "tough love with Esmerelda. She gets access to kibble twice a day for 30 minutes and that's it. During the day and night she gets soup the consistency of sloppy ground meat. That is what she gets hand fed as well. To do this you need to be consistent and persistent. And no matter the temper tantrums or booboo eyes- twice a day for those times only. George needs a good deal more bone in his diet. He has 5 and needs 8-9 Have you found other bone sources you can use yet?

Ok Sherry, I'll get that started with Esmerelda. I need to go get some more soup ingredients tomorrow so will start it then.
With George I haven't yet, I was going to get some more pinkies and get him on those. He does get bone meal added 2 or 3 times a week. What other source would be ok for him? He's still not overly keen on the wings, but he'll eat them if they're left.

Go to nutrition-> raw feeding-> basic frankenprey menu. That will give you a wide variety of bone in options.

Had trouble getting all the soup stuff. Apparently Wednesday isn't a good day for hearts and livers at the butchers! I have got it all now, so will be making soup up and trying some tough love!
